Reviews/Feedback:
Nexium: not sure
Nexium: Previously took Losec, but continued to have problems with choking spasms, which became increasingly distressing. The doctor prescribed Nexium at a lower dose, 30 mg., which helped but did not eliminate symptoms. Increased to 40, and have been happy with this dose ever since. The doctor tried reducing it once, but I had a choking spasm within two weeks, so we increased it again. She was a little concerned about risk of osteoporosis, but bone density tests have been normal.
Nexium: I was hospitalized for pancreatitis and that's when the coughing started. The pancreatitis subsided but the coughing worsened, especially at night. I was diagnosed with acid reflux and "hyperinflated lungs", whatever that means. The coughing would keep me up all night. I saw both an allergist and a pulmonologist; the allergist prescribed Nexium and the pulmonologist prescribed Advair, the nasal spray with the bee spokesperson, and an inhaler that made me so jittery that I did not sleep for an entire night when I took it. He also prescribed a codeine syrup that make me incredibly sick to my stomach. I hated being on all those meds. I did some research and decided to modify the size and content of my dinner, and eat it earlier in the evening. No more snacking or ice cream after dinner. My symptoms immediately stopped. I took myself off all meds and never went back to those doctors -- I had no need to.
Nexium: Taken at the same time daily
Nexium: WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS
Nexium: Nexium worked very well for a few years. Then, the daily dosage needed to be increased to twice daily. At twice daily, the same effectiveness has been maintained. It definitely controls the GERD & heartburn. At one point, I tried to come off this medication (to have a more natural lifestyle) this was a huge mistake as I immediately had a return of severe heartburn & reflux.
Nexium: My doctor asked me to take Nexium once a day until they were gone to see if the tightness in my check, the indigestion, and the heartburn could be cured by the pills. The tightness in the check and indigestion were not signs of heart problems as the doctor discovered. To date, the pills seemed to have worked.
Nexium: I take Nexium once a day in the morning. If I have a flare up of acid reflux, I will take another at dinner time. The once a day regime generally controls my acid reflux quite well. On the rare occasions when I forget to take Nexium, reflux flares up immediately, so I have good evidence it is responsible for the symptom control.
Nexium: I took a pill everyday (with water) about a hour before my dinner. I did not skip any days, but used everyday, so as to prevent heartburn rather than treat it.
Nexium: it was givien to me after having back surgery . and i was in a pretty good amount of pain so they gave it to me to help me sleep.
